The IR dongle has a range of approximately three feet,
directly in front of the port. The dongle is powered by
the serial port and requires no additional power sources.
Note: Only one of the three communications ports
(RS-232/422/485 connector, IR port or Remote
Programming) can be in the Command mode at
a time. When either the IR or the Phone port
switch to converse mode, the RS-232/422/485
port is blocked from receiving any data.
UPDATING FLASH MEMORY
The ESTeem Model 192 stores its operating system in
flash memory that can be updated without returning the
modem the to the factory. To upload the latest operating
file, please contact Customer Support at 509-735-9092 or
e-mail [e-mail] to request the latest flash
memory update file for your product.
Once you receive the flash file from Customer Support,
conduct the following steps to update the memory:

Emulation.

down (OFF) position and reset the modem.
3. Select
Terminal Setup>Port
from the menu items
and configure the computer serial port for
19,200,N,8,1.
Note: The flash update can not be loaded through the
Infrared Dongle or remote programming. You must
connect directly the ESTeem serial port.
4. Set the modem to factory defaults by entering FA
<Enter> at the command prompt (CMD:).
5. Select

from
the menu and the Utility will read information about
